Synopsis
Dear Goddamned Friends (Cari fottutissimi amici, 1994) — watch online on iFILM. Mario Monicelli sets this Italian tragicomedy in occupied Tuscany: a bedraggled troupe of boxers drifts from village to village, staging fixed bouts at local fairs to scrape together enough to eat.
Two unlikely travelers attach themselves to the group — a Black American GI listed as missing in action, and a young woman who has flatly refused to go through with her arranged marriage. Paolo Villaggio grounds the ensemble in his trademark deadpan sadness. Monicelli made Italian comedies for five decades, but the laughs here are undercut by something heavier: the grinding exhaustion of a country held between two occupying armies that both claim to be on your side. Stream Dear Goddamned Friends (1994) on iFILM.
